I like the Matrix sequels more now than I did when I first saw them 2 years ago, I remember being disappointed with Revolutions at first viewing, thinking thats it? This entire saga all boils down to Neo and Agent Smith beating the crap out of each other for 20 minutes? But after perusing the contents of the superb Matrix box set and several dvd viewings later I appreciate the trilogy a whole lot more now, the first Matrix in particular is an all time favorite of mine.

The Matrix (1999)


The Matrix was a major disappointment, and could have been a much, much better film. I've never felt any desire to check out the sequels.

The Lakers may have sucked this year, but at least they didn't suck as much as the Spurs.

Out of 4 stars:

The Matrix: 1/2
The Matrix Reloaded:
I was so disappointed in the sequel that I passed up Revolutions when I saw it for 5 bucks used. I may eventually cave, because I'm a bit of a neurotic...I mean completist when it comes to such matters.
